SeaBus Projects

Burrard Chinook SeaBus in front of Canada Place

Fleet and infrastructure projects are currently underway to improve the quality of our SeaBus service. These investments will ensure our network remains in a state of good repair and further improve our customers’ transit experience.

Many of these projects support the vision and requirements of our three main transit expansion plans: Transport 2050, the 10-Year Investment Plan, and Area Transport Plans.

Timeline: Completed in Spring 2026

As part of TransLink’s Maintenance and Upgrade Program, we replaced aging operational equipment at the Lonsdale Quay (north) and Waterfront (south) SeaBus terminals to ensure their continued safety and reliability for years to come.

We replaced:

  • electrical substations, transformers, panels, switchgear, and back-up generators;

  • fire water lines and hose cabinets;

  • automatic doors at the SeaBus loading bays;

  • emergency exit ramps;

  • entrance canopy at the Lonsdale (north) terminal ; and

  • ventilation equipment in the south terminal skywalk.

Indigenous art and accompanying signage has been installed at both SeaBus terminals to support Indigenous language revitalization and preservation. These installations sample the artwork aboard the Burrard Chinook SeaBus, which was launched in July 2021.

Timeline: Completed in June 2026

To improve safety and security of our customers, employees, and property, TransLink has upgraded obsolete CCTV systems at the SeaBus terminals with modern, future-proof camera systems. Outdated analog cameras and digital video recorders were replaced with IP-based digital cameras and network video recorders cables.
